Ferry terminal to get $17M in upgrades

Improvements will occur in phases over next few years say local government officials Kendra Wong Victoria News

The comedic play centres around Felix who returns home upon his father’s death and attempts to find answers to some of life’s big questions. For more on the production, please turn to page A13.

The Belleville Ferry Terminal is going to look a lot different over the next few years after the province and two local companies announced a $17.4-million investment to upgrade the facility Thursday. The project is a collaboration between the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Black Ball Ferry Line and Clipper Navigation Ltd., who will share the cost of upgrades. “It’s critical this important piece of transportation infrastructure is upgraded, starting with the safety improvements to the Black Ball wharves,” said Todd Stone, minister of transportation and infrastructure. “It is a critical component of our Pacific Gateway and a key entry point not just into Victoria, but British Columbia and indeed Canada.” The improvements will occur in three phases, the first is much-needed repairs to the Black Ball and Clipper wharves by replacing the current deteriorating wood piles with steel piles. “Everybody knew they were on their last legs and knew they had to be renewed,” said Ryan Burles, president and COO of Black Ball Ferry Line. Construction on the Black Ball Wharf is scheduled to begin in October and is expected to be completed in two years, while repairs to the Clipper wharf will take place in the winter for roughly a year.

The next phase is to improve access to the site to make it more efficient and the final phase includes the development of a terminal facility to house company operations. There is currently no definitive timeline for the last two phases. Discussions are also underway for the province to establish long-term leases with the companies. “For 29 years, we’ve been hoping for a permanent home in the Inner Harbour. This is possibly the most exciting day that we’ve had,” said Merideth Tall, president and CEO of Clipper Navigation. In addition, the City of Victoria has invested a minimum of $1 million in improvements to the David Foster Harbour Pathway that runs from Rock Bay to Odgen Point, which will coincide with the redevelopment of the terminal. “Right now, if you look out on Belleville Street – it’s fine, but not gorgeous,” said Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps. “It’s not just the people arriving from the water, it’s people arriving from the road. So we wanted to look at how can we best leverage our assets that we have, the money that the city has to make the improvements along Belleville Street so that’s also a welcoming experience.” The terminal supports ferry services between downtown Victoria and U.S. destinations, which bring an estimated $200 million to $300 million in goods annually. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

Kite fest goes sky-high

Water Conservation Tip: Let your grass go golden. Most people are actively finding ways to conserve water. You can make a difference too. Lawns not watered in the summer will go dormant or ‘golden’. Lawns will green up again with the autumn rains. For more water-saving tips, visit www.crd.bc.ca/water, or call 250.474.9684.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

City man injured in drug-related blast One man has been injured after a drug-related explosion at a View Street residence Friday. The Victoria Fire Department responded to a report of an explosion at 865 View Street near Quadra Street around 5:25 p.m. When fire crews arrived, they found one man suffering from burns to his body. There was drug paraphernalia in the suite and the explosion seems to have occurred in the kitchen. Police and the fire department determined the man was cooking a lethal mix of marijuana and camping fuel, which caused the explosion. The incident is under investigation by fire officials.

Mental health app gets a funding boost Coast Capital Savings has donated $112,950 to the Victoria Hospitals Foundation for the continued maintenance and improvement of BoosterBuddy, Canada’s first gamified mobile app for youth dealing with mental health challenges. Designed by Island Health clinicians, app company Robots & Pencils, and a team of youth with lived mental health experience, Booster-

Buddy has been downloaded more than 5,400 times since its September 2014 launch. The app provides a fun and engaging way for youth to self-manage their mental health by completing daily tasks that promote positive behaviour. “One in five young people experience mental health challenges, but youth can be difficult

to reach through conventional services,” said Lauren Fox, Island Health clinical lead for BoosterBuddy. “With Coast Capital’s support, we can continue working with our fantastic youth design team to make improvements that will help this app reach and engage with even more young people.” editor@vicnews.com

Michelle Ruhigisha, a Grade 10 student at Ecole Victor-Brodeur, competed at the eighth annual CIHR Canadian National Brain Bee in Ontario on Saturday. She came in 12th place.

More housing units go smoke-free The Capital Region Housing Corporation is taking a step towards creating a healthier environment for its residents. As part of a pilot project, the corporation announced that 21 new properties will become smoke-free. Since the project began in 2007, seven smoke-free complexes, totalling 262 units and 20 per cent of the corporation’s current housing stock have been transitioned. The policy only applies to new tenants, while existing tenants will be allowed to smoke inside their rental unit, balconies and patios.

Teen focuses on brain power

Ecole Victor-Brodeur student earns top-15 spot at national ‘Brain Bee’ Kendra Wong Victoria News

A local brain whiz finished strong at a national competition all about the human brain at McMaster University over the weekend. Michelle Ruhigisha, a Grade 10 Ecole VictorBrodeur student, placed 12 of 15 at the CIHR Canadian National Brain Bee in Hamilton, Ont. on Saturday. “It was a great experience,” said Ruhigisha, 16. The competition is as literal as it gets: a competition around participants’ knowledge of the human brain. It was made of three parts: the neuroanatomy bell-ringer, where they were asked to identify different parts of the brain and its function; in the second part, they had to diagnose a mock patient; and the third was an oral exam. Though she did well in the first two challenges, Ruhigisha admitted it was the oral exam that was the most challenging.

“I think I could have done better at that part,” she said. “They were multiple choice. They weren’t hard, but you had to pay attention to what the person was saying to understand the question.” Ayesha Khan, the competition organizer and assistant professor at the university, said Ruhigisha took a very collaborative approach with her fellow competitors, something they don’t normally see during the competition. “When they were studying for the competition, they were all in a group. She gelled and meshed very well with them,” said Khan. “She really assisted with making the whole experience, not only for herself but also the other competitors, very collaborative and that’s nice to see for us.” This was Ruhigisha’s first appearance at the brain bee nationals. “I think it was the whole aspect of trying something new and the science,” she said, admitting that she didn’t know much about the brain until she started prepping for the

competition. “I like the human body and biology and chemistry and how they go together and learning how they interact and learning about the brain and how we think – it’s just so interesting.” Ruhigisha qualified for nationals after completing a written and oral exam at the University of Victoria earlier this year. “She’s the student we want in the school, we want 20 of her if possible,” said Julie Gagnon, a Ecole Victor-Brodeur teacher who told Ruhigisha about the competition. “She’s dedicated to her studies and on top of it, she’s super smart. She has the ethics and the potential.” Gagnon said Ruhigisha’s dedication and passion for learning has also inspired other students to participate in the challenge next year. Though she didn’t rank in the top three, Ruhigisha hopes to compete again next year. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

“The road to recovery for those with mental health or substance use concerns can be challenging and full of turns, but by providing help with housing and a supportive, caring community, we’re smoothing out the way,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “Today’s announcement aligns strongly with government’s priority of building primary and community care supports to better serve individuals living with mental illness or substance use concerns. It’s up to all of us working together to help people with these challenges back on the right track.” Empress Bay is a 21-unit supported housing facility, so the Comerford Street program will be larger and accommodate more clients. As is the case with Empress Bay, the Comerford Street facility will be staffed 24/7 and serve clients with concurrent mental health and substance use challenges.

Local arts, culture hub reopens

Victoria News

After unexpectedly closing its doors last month, an arts and culture hub on Broad Street has re-opened right on schedule. Lacey-Lou Tapas Lounge (1320 Broad St.), which has become a hot spot for local musicians and poets to perform, went on a brief hiatus in May due to financial problems from unexpected construction costs with plans to re-open on June 1. Over the last few weeks, the community has pulled together to help the lounge open again, which it did on Monday night. “While we were closed we were astonished at how many patrons and musicians came together to help fundraise,” said owner Natasha GrauEnsminger, noting they raised roughly $4,000. “Our hiatus also gave us the opportunity to restructure some [aspects] of the lounge, including the kitchen and menu, as well as bring in some additional knowledgeable staff.” Though they have not yet met their

$50,000 fundraising goal, five businesses have offered their space and to help collaborate on fundraising efforts. “[We] need to be open and running in order for potential [investors] to put anything into the business,” she added. According to GrauEnsminger, their financial problems started early when she discovered structural problems that were not disclosed when she originally signed the lease agreement. For example, walls needed to be rebuilt, part of the structure

was rotting, and its lack of crawl space meant they had to tear up the floor to put in plumbing, turning what was supposed to be a twomonth renovation into seven months. “It ate up a lot of our capital for the first two years. So we started with nothing and were already in debt,” she said, adding that they have been running day-to-day with a staff of nine. “We footed the majority of the bill.” In an effort to generate more money, Lacey-Lou then started an online campaign to raise the roughly $50,000 needed to pay

off the debt and keep the business running. “The loss of LaceyLou’s would mean that dozens of artists and musicians will not have a local space to demonstrate their talent and come together to create and inspire. It would mean that hundreds will lose their community hub,” said Grau-Ensminer. Through the online campaign, they raisd just under $2,000. Fundraising efforts will continue in the months to come to help pay off the debt. Lacey-Lou, which is named after Grau-Ensminger’s dog, originally opened in late 2014, and has since grown into a bustling centre for Victoria’s arts and culture community. Within a few months of opening, they had a wait list of artists to showcase their work, a packed monthly calendar full of poetry sessions and comedy shows, and have had more than 500 musical performances. Mike Pendray, a musician who got his start at Lacey-Lou, said it quickly became a second home for him. “I never went to bars or anything in the community. Instead of going home, I would come here,” said the Langford resident. “This isn’t my local place to come, but I don’t have a reason to go anywhere else.”

VICTORIANEWS

What do you think?

OUR VIEW

Seniors deserve autonomy As we age, our ability to live independently is gradually stripped from us. But a new report from the B.C. Seniors’ Advocate suggests that is happening faster than it needs to. According to Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie, many seniors are being moved into residential care facilities before they need that level of care thanks to what she calls outdated and restrictive regulations. Many seniors could instead be accommodated in assisted living programs and facilities, retaining more of their independence later in life. Independent, active seniors are a big part of the community in Victoria and Esquimalt where they make up a significant portion of the population and are still contributing members of the community and economy through countless hours of volunteer effort. Helping them maintain that independence should be the goal, rather than encouraging them into residential care. Mackenzie’s report calls for a “fundamental redesign” of regulations for registered assisted living, to change spousal eligibility and reduce the number of higher functioning seniors moving to residential care. It’s time the government recognized that becoming a senior doesn’t mean you are no longer a vital part of society and helped seniors in their quest to remain independent.

Readers respond: memorials, drug sites and mailboxes Family ‘blessed’ by neighbours’ generosity We are extremely pleased and delighted to announce that our son Michael’s memorial bench has been rebuilt and replaced at Oak Bay Marina. Michael’s bench was torched and destroyed on Feb. 22. My wife and I were devastated and unable to comprehend why anyone would want to vandalize a memorial bench. It seemed to us such a senseless act of destruction. Since the incident and as a result of media coverage, our spirits were lifted by the many calls we received from concerned citizens and friends offering words of encouragement and support. Many kind people stepped forward wishing to contribute their resources and talent in replacing Michael’s bench and with their combined efforts succeeded in doing so. Our family is most grateful and would like to thank each and every one of them for offering their

valuable time and resources. How blessed and fortunate we are to live in a city and a community where such warmth and support is so evident. Martin and Stella Battle Victoria

Addicts need better access to drugs Re: Put safe drug sites in politicians’ backyard (Letters, May 27) If addicts could get their pain and sleep medications from the drug store and their choice of recreational substance from an outlet like a liquor store the way good citizens like Roel Hurkens can, chances are they wouldn’t need to break-in, smash and grab or purse snatch to finance their drug purchases.

We moved from South Surrey to the Victoria area last summer. South Surrey became a victim of community mailboxes some time ago. It is important that Capital Regional District residents be prepared for the same problems that plague community mailboxes wherever they are installed. Putting aside all of the inconveniences previously addressed, the more disturbing issue of theft and damage to the mailboxes are very real issues. It became so common place for thieves to destroy the boxes in order to steal personal banking, credit card and other documents in South Surrey that my husband and I chose to opt for a private mailbox at the local drugstore. It is important to note, that once a community mailbox is damaged, Canada Post will choose a location to redirect the mail until repairs are made. This can be a real issue for those unable to travel to the selected centre. In one instance

in South Surrey, mail could only be retrieved between the hours of 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. In other words, no one working standard hours could retrieve their mail. The chosen centre in this case, was a 10-minute drive from where the damaged boxes were located. It was not uncommon for us to drive by community mailboxes with the entire block of boxes smashed open. Canada Post claims taxpayers’ money will be saved switching to the community mailbox system, but at what cost? Letter carriers will lose their jobs, and citizens will have to accept inconvenience and a much greater risk of theft of personal documents. Canada Post’s analysis might indicate some benefits to switching to community mailboxes, but I cannot think of any after my experience with the system in South Surrey. Wendy Lepper Victoria

Uptown donates kits to Transition House The Victoria Women’s Transition House Society is getting a boost after a Saanich shopping centre donated 200 emergency shelter welcome kits last week. Uptown Shopping Centre handpicked and packaged basic items like shampoo and toothpaste as well as additional comforts like bath salts and nail filers to gift to the shelter. There are also welcome kits for children that include baby wipes, tear-free shampoo and tub toys. Susan Howard, development director of the society, said the kits are placed in the bedrooms of each new resident

at the shelter and are used during their 30-day stay. “We want to sincerely thank Uptown for this thoughtful donation of emergency shelter welcome kits and for helping us with our important Welcome Kit program,” said Howard. “Kits are needed year-round for women, with and without children, who are fleeing domestic abuse.” The society is also launching its spring fundraising campaign to raise funds towards operating costs of the emergency shelter and community programs and services for women and children

Mealshare targets ‘systemic poverty’ Coordinators say program growing at fast pace Kendra Wong Victoria News

A new meal sharing program that helps provide meals to homeless people has exploded on the scene in Victoria. Through the Mealshare program, which started in Alberta in 2013, when patrons order certain

Mealshare-stamped menu items from participating restaurants, a meal is then provided to local or international organizations that Mealshare is partnered with. “The diner who purchased it is not only providing a meal for themselves, but also for someone else in need,” said Derek Juno, a University of Victoria grad and vice president of business development with the program. He said the program is necessary step

helped increase awareness around the programs they offer. “It’s benefitted us immensely and not just in the revenue that Mealshare is generating, but also in awareness and letting the restaurants know that we exist and what we do, and making that connection is really valuable,” said McKenzie, noting they’ve had several restaurants offer to serve lunch at the society. Though the “buy one, give one-style program” is only in its second year, it has exploded in popularity with 22 participating restaurants in Victoria, up from only four restaurants in 2013. Among the participating restaurants are Tacofino, Floyd’s Diner, Foo, The Mint, The Clay Pigeon and Camille’s. Origin Bakery is also one of the eateries involved. When you buy any cake or multiples of six of any muffin or cupcake, you are donating to the program.

“It’s a really easy program to be a part of. They keep it really simple. They’re really transparent about where the money is going and you know if you give them $1, they will feed someone with that,” said Marion Scott, co-owner of Origin. “We also have had customers add on something when we tell them ‘hey, if you pick another muffin, you can donate to Mealshare.’ Most of the time they will.” According to Juno, the Mealshare program has provided more than 42,000 meals to people in Victoria. “Victoria is such a passionate, giving community,” added Juno. “It’s a small city, but they’re keeping up with some of the big cities that we’re participating in.” The program also operates in Vancouver, Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary and Halifax.

Gender should be removed from birth certificates, says society Society says assignment of identities is discrimination Jeff Nagel Black Press

Gender identity should be removed from birth certificates, according to a complaint filed with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal on behalf of nine intersex or transgender people. Morgane Oger, a transgender woman and chair of the Trans Alliance Society, says the forced assignment of gender identity at birth – quickly decided by a doctor inspecting the genitals – discriminates against intersex, trans and other gender non-conforming residents whose assigned gender turns out to be inaccurate or who don’t fully identify as one sex or the other. A statement issued by the society says misidentified children “suffer grief when they go to school, humiliation when they apply for a driver’s licence and discrimination and danger

“We are studying this and looking at other jurisdictions, but we have to be really careful with foundational identity documents.” Health Minister Terry Lake in every circumstance where someone wants them to ‘prove’ their gender.” Oger argues there is no valid reason to put gender on birth certificates, adding there are many more sophisticated methods to help identify someone. “It is indefensible to use a marker which will certainly be wrong, and create havoc for, a predictable number of people.” Health Minister Terry Lake said B.C. has moved to allow birth certificates to be changed, but removing gender would affect statistics used in medical research. “We are studying this and looking at other jurisdictions, but we have to be really careful

with foundational identity documents like birth certificates, because we want to make sure that we don’t impair people’s ability to travel internationally,” Lake said. Transgender advocates elsewhere are also advancing cases seeking to remove gender from passports. Oger said it’s not acceptable to have a third gender option like “other” because “that puts a target on the forehead of anyone with that third option recorded.” Among the complainants is Harriette Cunningham, a Comox girl labeled male at birth who last year succeeded in getting her birth certificate gender changed to female. In 2013, at the age of 11, she won a Human Rights Tribunal case that led to new provincial legislation making such identification changes easier. editor@vicnews.com

Comic book heroes come to life Kendra Wong Victoria News

Fans of Marvel comic books will have the chance to see their favourite characters in action as part of a play debuting in Victoria next week. Marvel Universe LIVE! is a live-action show that includes more than 25 Marvel characters, including Spider-Man, Iron Man, Black Widow, the Hulk and Captain America, along with special effects, pyrotechnics, aerial stunts and martial arts. “It’s pretty much like going and seeing your favourite Marvel comic book coming to life in front of you,” said Sarah Whitmore, who plays the villainous Madame Hydra and is a stunt motorcyclist with the show. But it is not to be confused as a remake of the Avengers films. The story involves a Cosmic Cube, the source of ultimate power and one of the most feared and coveted treasures in Marvel Universe, that has been shattered into pieces by Thor to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. Thor’s evil brother Loki devises a plan to clone its powers, calling on the superheroes to join forces to save the day. “It’s got an entirely unique and epic plot of its

own,” said Phil Smage, who plays Captain America. “It grabs something from each of the movies and brings it so there are some familiarities for the crowd, but it’s its own new Avengers.” One of the main scenes is an eight-minute chase and fight scene with 10 motorcycle riders, including Smage and Whitmore who are engaged in real life. “On the stage, we are arch enemies. She leads the evil Hydra army and myself as Captain America,” said Smage, noting that it is the most intense scene to perform. “We’re using our bikes to knock down bad guys and to run over crazy obstacles. There is one scene where [Sarah and I] meet and she tries to whip me off my bike. “It’s pretty much on the edge of chaos. It takes a lot of concentration and focus during that scene because there’s so many moving pieces.” The show is making its Canadian debut in Victoria from June 11-14 at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre followed by shows in Vancouver. Tickets range from $30, $45, $75 (VIP) and $115 for front row seats. For tickets, call 250-220-7777 or selectyourtickets.com. kendra.wong@vicnews.com

Asking life’s big questions centres around Humble Boy Mark your calendar

Kendra Wong Victoria News

Intricate, layered and funny. That’ how Angela Henry describes Humble Boy, the new play debuting at Langham Court Theatre next week. The play, which originally debuted at the Royal National Theatre in London in 2001 and written by Charlotte Jones, is the story of Felix Humble, an astrophysicist who returns home upon his father’s death to find his mother has jumped into bed with a neighbour. His solace is found in his father’s Cotswold garden and apiary where a spinster, past lover and bees allow for musings about life and the universe. “The thing that makes it such a fun script is that it has so many layers,” said Henry, the play’s director. “On one level it’s a sheer lovely comedy about a dysfunctional family trying to find

its way back to itself, but on a deeper level it asks many questions about what is the glue that keeps people together and that runs the universe.” It is a dark comedy that was inspired by William Shakespeare’s Hamlet. “When Hamlet asks ‘to be or not to be’, his question of how to function in the world, it is a question that Felix asks all throughout the play and he’s challenged by the people around him to try and be instead of not be,” said

Henry. The six-person play takes place over a period of three months and tries to answer big life questions, something Felix himself struggles with. “He has this belief that he clings to that if he understands string theory, which is this unified theory of everything, that he will understand everything,” said Kyle Kushnir, who plays Felix. “But at the end, I think he realizes that’s not true. I hope that people see that, that there are mysteries to human relationships that aren’t explainable by science.” It is a play that both Henry and Kushnir hope will allow audiences to reflect on their own relationships.

NAVY RUN

Do it because you can!

Six senior high school students from Victoria and Esquimalt have been picked in the second annual Victoria Rugby All-Stars Selections. The athletes include Ethan Phillips and Ritthy Chau from Esquimalt High; Cameron Graham and Brennig Prevost from Glenlyon Norfolk School; and Kevin Widderch and Paris Demers from Victoria High. “The Commissioner’s 15 Rugby All-Stars was developed to help us recognize boys playing rugby at schools across our city,” said Phil Ohl, Tide Rugby board member and head coach of the Claremont rugby program. “We wanted to ensure that every school playing rugby had an opportunity to recognize players on their team.” Each of the coaches of the senior and junior rugby teams puts forward names for the All-Star teams, who then receive a T-shirt and an invitation to attend the upcoming Tide

Rugby trials. Teams in the U15 through U18 levels will compete at the Provincial Regional Competition (PRCs) this summer. Many will then have the potential to be invited to trials for provincial teams. “The all-star program is a great first step in identifying talent,” said Doug Tate, U17 Tide assistant coach and University of Victoria head rugby coach. “PRCs is a great place for coaches like myself to identify potential athletes for all levels of competition, including university, provincials and nationals. The all-stars bring out those boys who may not have known about these rugby opportunities.” The Tide Junior Program represents athletes from the Lower Island selected to compete in U18, U17, U16 and U15 provincial regional championships. The PRC tournaments will take place at Burnaby Lake this year. The U15 boys, U16 boys and U16 girls teams compete June 24-25, with the U17 boys, U18 boys and U18 girls competing July 4-5.
